Solomon Islands Old Malaita War Club

Early Malaita Hand Club carved from a dense Palmwood. Tri-pointed top has softened tips as does the pointed pommel from a long life of use. The surface of this heavily patinated reddish palmwood club has old signs of scraping and impact marks. The widest section of the pointed pommel has some small chips. The overall length of this club is just over 20". A handsome old utilitarian piece.
